Twisted landscapes and the horrors of Phyrexian transformation will take over Magic: The Gathering with the Phyrexia: All Will Be One Standard-legal set, showcasing the Phyrexian plane of Phyrexia.
War is coming to the MTG Multiverse and the heroes are intending on striking first through Phyrexia: All Will Be One (ONE), scheduled to globally launch on Feb. 10. Elesh Norn is the face of the new Standard-legal Magic set, ruler of the White faction and the mastermind behind the Multiverse war.
Wizards of the Coast provided players with a debut stream to kick off the ONE spoiler season on Jan. 11, showcasing a variety of card art variations, Compleated planeswalkers, and mechanics.
Here are all the Phyrexian: All Will Be One spoilers from the Jan. 17 debut stream.
Compleated planeswalkers
Of the 10 planeswalkers in the ONE set, five have been Compleated.
For Mirrodin!
Fighting back against the Phyrexians are the Mirrodin rebels who have survived on New Phyrexia. The call to fight, For Mirrodin!, is a mechanic within the ONE set.
Proliferate
The MTG mechanic Proliferate returns, adding counters to permanents that already have an existing counter.
Toxic
Poison counters represent the will of Phyrexia in ONE, showcasing numerous creatures with the Toxic mechanic.
Corrupted
Corrupted is a new MTG mechanic that takes advantage of Poison counters that have been applied to an opponent.
Dominus cycle
Dominus are living monuments on the plane of Phyrexia, honoring their Praetor. There are five Dominus in the ONE set.
Legendary creatures
Not all legendary creatures in ONE are heroes, depending on who you ask. Both the Phyrexians and the rebellion have their own set of legendary creatures who intend to have an impact on the MTG meta.
Here are all of the MTG Phyrexian: All Will Be One spoilers from the Dec. 13 preview stream.
Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines
Elesh Norn is the leader of the White Phyrexian faction, but there are other powerful Preator leaders on the plane on New Phyrexia as well that have shown up throughout MTG sets over the last two years.
The Black Praetor, Sheoldred, was featured in Dominaria United. Urabrask, the Red Praetor was last seen in Streets of New Capenna. Vorinclex, the Green Praetor was the first to get shown off in Kaldheim. And Jin-Gitaxias, the Blue Praetor, was last seen Compleating Tamiyo in Neon Dynasty.
The legendary Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines is the second Elesh Norn ONE card spoiled so far, with the first being Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Featured in the MTG color White, Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines is a powerful Magic card that synergizes with ETB-triggered abilities on a 4/7 body that has Vigilance.
Phyrexian Obliterator
Last seen within MTG Arena’s Historic Anthology three set, Phyrexian Obliterator returns to Standard through ONE. The Mono-Black horror still has a cost of BBBB, along with the same stats, Trample keyword, and ability.
Phyrexian Obliterator has a new flavor text, though, featuring Sheoldred saying “Show me what Norn’s sycophants are hiding under all that pretty porcelain.” The flavor text eludes to infighting among the Phyrexians.
Jor Kadeen, First Goldwarden
Jor Kadeen first appeared in New Phyrexia and was last seen in Commander 2021. The white hair legendary in the colors White and Red returns to Standard in ONE as a two-drop human rebel with Trample on a 2/2 body. The Mirran resistance leader also has an ability that synergizes well with WR themes, gaining power and toughness upon attacking based on the number of Equipped creatures you control.
Jor Kadeen will likely see more gameplay within the Commander format as opposed to Standard unless ONE happens to contain some good Artifact Equipment that can keep up with the Standard meta. There are a total of four rebels within the set.
Slobad, Iron Goblin
Slobad, Iron Goblin is the evolution of Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer, a popular Red Magic card within the Commander format.
Once a 1/2 two-drop, the goblin artificer is now a Compleated three-drop Rare in Red with 3/3 stats that can add Red mana equal to the mana value of an Artifact that it sacrifices. The mana, however, can only be spent to cast Artifact spells or to activate the abilities of Artifacts.
Koth, Fire of Resistance
Koth is one of 10 planeswalkers that will face down Elesh Norn in Phyrexia: All Will Be One. Last seen as Koth of the Hammer in Scars of Mirrodin, Koth, Fire Resistance is still a four-drop legendary planeswalker in Red with new loyalty abilities.
Of the three loyalty abilities, Koth’s plus-two is unique in that it fetches a player’s library for a basic Mountain and puts it in hand. His minus-three is good for removal in Mono-Red builds and Koth’s ultimate deals four damage to any target upon a Mountain entering the battlefield.
Blue Sun’s Twilight
Blue Sun’s Twilight is a new Sorcery spell within ONE that showcases a Blue Rare that can permanently steal an opponent’s card from the battlefield. If that player pays five or more as “X” upon casting Blue Sun’s Twilight, it also creates a copy token of the stolen creature.
The Twilight spells are a cycle in ONE, showcasing each Praetor color.
ONE lands
As with all MTG sets, the basic lands of ONE show off the twisted landscapes of New Phyrexia. From borderless lands with a new Oil Slick foil treatment to two versions of extended art and regular basic lands, players have plenty to choose from when crafting a deck.
Prerelease events for ONE will launch first, running from Feb. 3 to 9. A digital release will take place on Feb. 7, followed by the global launch of Phyrexia: All Will Be One on Feb. 10.
